Flipped leaf

Hey guys, today I flipped my coupe's leaf springs.
Dropped it probably 1.5-2 inchs and looks good, front is a bit high at the moment still.
I flipped the middle leaf and put it on the top of the pack, I saw in the wiki about adding an extra leaf but since I had no extras I didn't.
It's definitely stiffer but at the same time it seems to bounce around more. The shocks on the rear are probably originals since the front's still were when I replaced them.
So my question is; Would new shocks reduce the bouncing, or do I need the extra leaf too, to stiffen the pack more?
It needs the rear shocks done so I am getting them either way but would like to know which would have more of an impact.
Cheers guys

i think you'll find there fighting against each other, spend a couple dollars and get them re-set properly

Yes.

Stiffness = bounce

Good shocks tuned to the new stiffness will help, but cannot eliminate all the bounce.
